When I heard the Supreme Court’s ruling that
proposition 8 was overturned in California, I had a few immediate thoughts. The
first one was Yayy for all those couples
who are now free to follow their heart.
But my next thought went a bit deeper—especially as
it pertains to any and all monogamous couples. I thought Wow I’ll bet a lot of gay couples just broke up over this. I’ll bet
there was a substantial amount of gay people who thought Oh sh#* now he/she is going to expect a ring.
The new law prompted a relationship reevaluation.
Because I am sure that there were/are lots of gay
people out there who were just not into their partners enough to ever marry them in the first place. And they
hid behind the fact that marriage was not legal to disguise their true lack of
commitment.
They told their partner Well I would marry you, but too
bad for us the law forbids it.
And
then the law changed.
Because people are people. And relationship
issues are relationship issues. Gender has no bearing on affairs of the heart. And
the trick, no matter what your orientation is, is to find the one who is true
and values you enough to put a ring on it.
